Our 2nd Annual Woolery Weave-Off has come and gone. It brings us so much joy each time one of these beautiful dish cloths comes in the mail. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to enter and for donating your wonderful handwoven projects to the women of Simon House. Soon all the towels will be brought to Simon House where they will be added to 'starter baskets' that provide basic household supplies to the ladies moving out into their own housing! We know these will brighten the home of the women who receive them.
It is time for one of our favorite parts of the Weave-Off, to share all of the fabulous winning entries with you! Get ready to have your socks knocked off by gorgeous weaving:

We truly appreciate every single participant of the Woolery Weave-Off for sharing your fiber art. We are sad that it's time for the contest to be over for the year but we'll be back at it in 2020. It's possible we might even have a Spin-Off for you this year. Let us know in the comments if that would be something you would like to see. If you want to try making your own we used bluegrass mills cotton yarn.
